No doubt it was totally book related - sounds like something we would be doing, lol... I've had Clocket and JJ show up in dreams as people who are the ones who know how to miraculously solve problems that only make sense as long as I'm asleep.
Makes sense to me!

Eeek...
And I had another 'end of the world' dream. Maybe it's all this 2012 hype, and maybe because im also dying to see this movie. My dreams are pretty epic, I tell ya.

I had a Who-related dream last night, though of course I've forgotten most of it since. It was all about an episode called "The Wedding of Victoria Waterfield" and it was the keystone of an intricately-plotted arc that spread about a season either side of that one episode. And yes, Victoria was dragged away from the altar (in Los Angeles, yet) by the Doctor and Jamie. There were Cybermen and Ice Warriors too; maybe she was marrying a Cyberman?
I think my subconscious must have come up with it because of the extreme implausibility of anything like a planned story arc in that particular era ;D

Did you take notes? The Doctor and Jamie running to prevent Victoria's wedding (with or without accompanying complicated arc) sounds like the sort of fic I could go for!
And, Prim, I seem to think we were loading stuff in and out of a van and I was getting very frustrated about something that just wasn't working. But it went...

I'm relatively certain Eleven showed up in my dream last night. And it was an EPIC dream, but now I can't remember it at all, and this makes me sad.

Did he have eyebrows in your dream, Clocket?
And I like to think that Victoria was getting married to some sort of high-ranking Ice Warrior - they seem more likely to go in for marriage than the Cybermen do - possibly for some dynastic reason. And then when they do the "forever hold your peace" bit, Two bursts in, with that Appalled!Two!expression on his face. You know the one. ;D

And then when they do the "forever hold your peace" bit, Two bursts in, with that Appalled!Two!expression on his face. You know the one. ;D Hmm. That would make more sense. Perhaps there's a human villain somewhere who, in exchange for an alliance with the Ice Warriors, offered half his kingdom and his daughter's hand in marriage. Only, not having a daughter, he decided to press Victoria into the rôle...

See, it practically writes itself! ;D
Yes, the Ice Warriors, being honourable sort of chaps (when they're in colour, anyway), are pretty scandalised by the whole thing when they find out (they'd been going along with it up to then, because all humans look alike to them). Their idea of making amends is to start randomly firing their sonic blasters into the gathering of wedding guests...
Of course, the human villain wasn't the king, but rather his Scheming Advisor, who like all Scheming Advisors has really bad fake facial hair and a great big medallion, and also a Violent Sidekick called Bruno or something, who has a fistfight with Jamie in all of the confusion.
And of course, the whole thing is just playing into the hands of the Cybermen, who planned it this way all along... "Excellent!" goes the Cyberleader (yes, for some reason there are 80s Cybermen in a Two story).
Hey, wasn't this your dream?
;D

Hey, wasn't this your dream? The events you've just described weren't, but if you do feel inspired, don't let me stop you. (in the version I'm imagining, the human villain isn't a king, this being set in modern-day California, but something along the lines of a crime boss or a corrupt studio executive, who's tricked the Ice Warriors into believing that he has half a kingdom to go with Victoria. You see, when his cunning plan comes to fruition, he'll have his kingdom, and rule over it with a rod of iron, and he won't have to share it with a lot of scaly green bipedal lobsters or stupid tin cyborgs either. Mwa ha ha ha ha. Yes, he's going to get offed by one or other group. Perhaps both.)

But of course. ;D Possibly in the course of some Two-engineered Ice Warrior/Cyberman deathmatch that leaves everyone involved rather the worse for wear.
I was forgetting it was meant to be set in L.A... Well, then I guess my version is set in post-apocalyptic L.A. Of The Future, which has fallen back into cod-feudalism and features Well-Meaning But Weak Kings, Scheming Advisors and all that sort of thing...

I had a WhoDream last night, featuring Ten.
Actually, it was one of those dreams which had two parts to it, each relating to each other. Now, I can't remember what happened in the first part, but the second part of my dream kicked off after a year-long search for the Doctor. I was his current companion, who had lost contact with Ten during a war with an alien species on Earth. I spent a year or so looking for him.
However, not sure how I did it, but I found a note leading to an address. Well, I followed the note and ended up at some high-security, elegant white mansion. The fron't yard was like a football field, full of all sorts of flowers and greenery...
Anyhow, I went to the front door and knocked, and soon a woman opened the door. She didn't look familiar, but I said to her, "Is the Doctor here? I need to see him." I peered through the door and looked inside. Directly across from me was where I saw the second story balcony railing right near the staircase. I looked up at the next floor, and there stood the Doctor with that childish glee on his face. He ran down the stairs, and we embraced. Kind of cute actually (>.< weird since I dont fancy him in that way, but considering the fact that I was his companion...)
Well, the dream ended there, unfortunatly, but I got the notion that although he was glad to see me, he didn't really want to be found. Turns out that the woman was someone he fell in love with, and I think they got married. Maybe the Doctor grew tired of travelling and settled down somewhere, not telling anyone, anything.

Man, there are some really cool dreams here. My latest Doctor Who one had me looking for the TARDIS in a parking lot. I don't think the Doctor was even involved. It was tremendously boring. I did find it though, eventually...
I had a dream the other night, which as far as I can piece together, since it was never explicitly stated, involved me on some reality show that had to do with Brits vs. Americans competing against each other about something like whoever understood the other nation better. First we watched this film which was meant to provide an example of British humor, and somehow was related to America in that weird dream logicality, and then there was this game that involved a computer screen and a keyboard, where I had to type the alternate British spellings of words that a person would say on the computer. Also, this show was apparently hosted by Stephen Fry.

I had a WTF dream last night. When I say WTF, I mean WTF.
In the dream I found my self relaxing on my fire escape on a lovely summer afternoon. I was living with David Tennant (I don’t know how, he was just there), and he cooking in the kitchen. He had an apron on, it was cute. My street is one way, so cars need to drive north. All if suddenly this large half truck, half military tank came up the road. There was a speaker and someone was talking through it very loudly and these really messed up version of the Doctor Who theme was playing. As the truck thing came up the road, I noticed a women peering out the window, she was the one yelling through the speaker. It was Elisabeth Sladen. I was a little nervous because I didn’t not want David to come out and have Elisabeth find him. The truck/tank left and it was quite, when David sticks his head of the kitchen asking what that was all about. I told him it was nothing and he went back to doing what ever he was doing (I hope he was baking cake).
A few minutes later the tank thing came down the road (wrong way), they were still playing the theme, but this time, the two drivers (they need two drivers to drive the tank) and Elisabeth were driving slow, looking for an address. I was getting even more nervous because I knew they were looking for me, but I didn’t want them to find me. Elisabeth parks the tank and they all stepped out, looking around, when David appeared again. He asked what was going on and I was like “nothing, nothing, no big deal”, when he walked onto the fire escape and noticed Elisabeth. Elisabeth calls him down, in which he steps off the fire escape and lands on his feet. Let me tell you, in real life, if you were to do, that would break some bones, you could live, but break some bones. I was like “how did he do that” but I yet knew the answer, which I will get to later. Anyway, Salden was panicking while talking to David over the fact that they could not find the next companion and if they didn’t find her soon, there was to be doom.
Suddenly I was downstairs watching Elisabeth and David talk. Eventually Elisabeth said that they though the companion lived on this street, but it seems not, so they were going to go on their way. As they were leaving I ran up to David, angry at him, going to yell at him when I bumped into him. As I did that, that regeneration orange sparkle came out of David and went inside me. Elisabeth starts yelling “YOU’RE THE NEXT COMPANION, YOU’RE THE NEXT COMPANION” I was really angry and I looked at David in which he replied “I knew you were the next companion, you had to be found”. I wondered why the red hair girl wasn’t the companion because she hadn’t even started with 11. Then my dream went to a newspaper article, it was a few years in the future, and the red head had left the show.
Now, it sounds confusing, but this is how my dream explained everything. The Doctor Who show is a very important show. So important that people can’t adduction to be on the show, no, a selected view were chosen at birth (by the TV gods? I don’t know really). The Doctor, The Master and/or a companion. Since we were the chosen ones, we have super powers. That is why David could walk off the fire escape like it was a step and that the orange stuff came out of him and attacked me. Apparently when a Doctors/Master/companion time is done, BBC has to go through some ritual to find the next Doctors/Master/companion. Kind of like how they Tibet monks have to find the next Dalai Lama.
So yes, that was my dream. It’s really messed up.

that is... messed up
But the strangest part is that I've now got the mental image of Tennant in a fifties house wife dress and apron standing in your kitchen saying "Now, now, Newton, you know it isn't done yet"
...
and said image will not leave

So do I - thanks a bunch, Clocket!
I had a very strange one last night, actually. I was taking a university exam. In disguise. I was wearing a wig, false moustache, big thick glasses and a suit that was too small for me. It seemed that I was pretending to be somebody else who was the one who was supposed to be taking the exam, taking it for them as part of some subterfuge. Except that the person I was meant to be impersonating was this young blonde girl, so the disguise was actually a fairly lousy one...
Anyway, while I was inside the exam hall working away, this girl (who I had no idea who she was supposed to be) was for some reason walking up and down outside, looking very anxious. It was asking for trouble, because then my former French teacher from secondary school (yes, really!) suddenly jumped out and pointed her out, shouting at her etc. She tried to run, but the police (yes, the police!) soon caught her and dragged her away in handcuffs.
So, then the police burst into the exam hall to get me too. Oh, did I mention that they were Australian policemen? Because they were. Anyway, I made a run for it, jumping out the window and sliding down various air vents, fire escapes etc in an effort to get away. When I got to the bottom, though, I found that I suddenly couldn't run any more, for some reason, and the Aussie cops got me too.
So, they flung me into the police car with this blonde girl whose identity remains a mystery to me - she was crying etc, as well she might be, and I was telling her that she should have just told them she couldn't take the exam because she was ill (which on reflection seems like a better plan than getting me to take it on her behalf, in disguise).
And _then_ I was suddenly watching an episode of Doctor Who, which I didn't recognise. It had that cheap-and-cheerful Season 17 sort of feel to it, though. Tom Baker was going around in big red and blue sparkly robes, wearing a hat that looked like a big plastic brain perched on top of his head.
No, I don't have any idea what any of that might mean, but it was remarkable nonetheless because my dreams are usually a bit boring.

Now I'm very amused, both at the mental image and JJ's Very Weird (and entertaining) dream. I seem to have dreamt I was somewhere where they were asking who was a Baptist. It was only this morning in church I realised this must have been a dream, since there is nowhere I have been lately where this would have happened. And on Weds I dream I was at the Bookstart regional meeting and lo and behold on Thursday I was at the Bookstart regional meeting. That is how exciting my dreams have been lately.

At least you didn't dream that you were in the middle of addressing the meeting and then wake to find that you actually were...

Before I go back and look over others' WTFs, here's one I just had. I'm with and dependent on parents again, but in the prehistory of this dream, I'd found out that I had different parents, and had gone to live with them. They were of a somewhat swarthy persuation. My new father had just found out that he could no longer work in his chosen line of work as a clown, owing to a fatal illness. I was afraid that I might have to take up the family job, but I decided it was probably the right thing to do, to honor my new father in his declining days. My new mother, a very tall woman, reappeared with clown makeup, perhaps indicating that I was off the hook for this. As the dream ends, I'm touching or holding my new father as he lies on the floor contemplating the news in sympathy.
The lack of furniture is probably just a matter of my imagination not being able to hold a lot of elements at one time. My concentration is poor asleep as well as awake.

Okay, I had two dreams last night. The first one was Who dream. Well, it had aspects in it. Anyway, it started out as me and my mum trying to pick up my three younger brothers for school. Well, my mum went to go and get them and so went into the school while I waited outside. Well apparently, my brothers got out as the bell rang and met me outside. They were unaware about my mum, who had gone it to get them. So, we waited a few minutes but no sign of my mum. So, I told my brothers to wait outside will I went and found her.
I heard an explosion, and ran further into the school, to find a spaceship had landed in the courtyard. I didn't quite see the aliens, but I just new that they were Daleks. I ran inside into the corridors where it was quiet, until I was approached by Dark Alessa (from the Silent Hill Movie - random, I know), and I was slowly being consumed in darkness. But I didn't allow that and I pushed her over (lol), and ran for it until I got back outside. Still no sign of mum, but I did see the Doctor and Jack outside, being Jack holding the massive gun from Stolen Earth. But, the Doctor was struck down my a Dalek beam, and collapsed (pretty much what happened at the end of Stolen Earth), and I ran up to him. I tried to revive him, but he was struck dead. I called out to Jack telling him that he wasn't breathing, and he gave me a devestated look...Aaand, that's where the dream ended.
The second dream that night had nothing to do with Doctor Who, but a Harry Potter (Half-Blood Prince) related one. I was the lucky extra halfway through filming an important scene. Well, I wont say 'extra', because it was quite a huge exciting role. Anyway, I was simply a friend of Harry's, and we were filming a scene at the end where I (well, my character anyway), was chasing Snape down. Totally new setting, which was not in Hogwarts, but somewhere through a bust city street market. No idea why, but there were stacks of people there.
Basically me and Harry were led to these markets, but my character was the only one that new what Snape was up too. So, I was one step ahead of Harry and looked around for Snape. I found him, and chased him through the streets, where he held Dumbledore at wand-point. Bam - Albus was killed, and I drew out my wand and sent a spell at Snape, but he was faster and sent a spell at me, causing both to collide. Harry seemed like a tag-along, and did nothing important but follow me around. That was it, really.
